Mt. Hallanasan National Park

On the next 2 days of our journey in korea, it is sunny and it's 21 degrees what a nice welcoming weather for the 3 of us. We left Seoul at around 8am and took the kTX train going to Mokpo.

At Mokpo we took ferry to Jeju Island to start our Journey.

We went for a 2 day tour in Jeju usland. We checked in at the KAL Hotel Jeju, and had our quick lunch and we continued with our journey.

Jeju is the largest island in Korea, is bustling with domestic and international tourists all year round. Its distinct scenery produced by four different seasons beckon numerous tourists. In spring, rapeseed flowers cover the fields all over the island. In summer, the aroma of mandarin orange hangs in the air.

And in winter, Mt. Hallasan puts on a majestic, pure-white coat of snow. With its warm climate and tropical flora thanks to its location to the south of the Korean Peninsula, the island produces scenery that is distinctive from any other place in Korea. Jeju not only has a beautiful natural environment, but also boasts a wide variety of cultural facilities. A convention center of international scale, a World Cup stadium, unique and magnificent arboretums, theme parks, and museums, all combine to make the entire island one big theme park.

The most common transportation mode when sightseeing in Jeju is by rent-a-car or rent-a-taxi. But the cost can be rather expensive. The suggested Jeju one-night, two-days course presents a convenient and affordable way to explore Jeju on a trolley bus over the course of two days.

On our ride with the intercity bus, we are heading to the beautiful Mt.Hallasan National Park which stand tall in the middle of Jeju Island. From the bus terminal in Jeju island, we are going to take an intercity bus, it will take us 35 minutes. We are getting off at the Seongpanak entrance. From Seongpanak we are going to take another intercity bus going to Eorimok, where the Mt. Hallanasan National Park is located. Here, we are going to witness the 368 parasitic mountains called “Ohreum (peaks).” This National Park is famous for its vertical ecosystem of plants, and has 1800 kinds of plants & 4000 species of animals.
